Bookish | Wolverine/Logan Howlett X [Male Librarian] Reader

What made libraries so special? Logan might have answer to that, and it's the guy behind the desk.

Quick notes : This was an idea that came to me randomly! I liked the idea of having a more softish reader since it’s a personality that contrasts so well with Logans - think opposites attract! As usual, this story is set from Logan's POV (I’ll do Reader POV at some point, most likely in a oneshot rather than in these drabbles)! There will most likely be a few things (or many) that aren’t accurate to the X-Men comics/movies lore, and this is because I have yet to see the movies… I will be changing this shortly, however! [Side note, I will be completing a request sometime today and posting it alongside a part 2 to the Iron Man variant reader drabble.]

Story Details : About 1,300 words, Male Reader referred to as ‘You/Your,’ Reader has a soft personality, Reader’s outfit is vaguely described, inaccurate implied history of mutants and their evolution, so much fluff, Logan slightly OOC (?)

Chuck wanted him to go to the damn library. He didn’t even like the library. Apparently the old telepath needed some specific books on mutants for a presentation he was going to give to the students at the school. So, of course, he sent Logan. Asshole.

The older mutant pushed one of the front doors open, stepping into the building with his mouth set in a firm frown. A few of the guests looked up at him, but otherwise remained focused on their own book searching or reading. He huffed, his brows furrowing slightly as he took in the large area of books - not counting the second floor. Logan did not want to spend the whole damn day in this stuffy library, so he swallowed his pride and approached the librarian desk nearby.

To his surprise, however, he was met with you. You had a knit sweater on, with a button-up beneath it and a pair of dress pants; Logan couldn’t help but admire your form for a beat, taking in the small details about you. It took a moment before you looked up from the book you were reading, a warm smile gracing your face as you set it aside and gave the mutant your full attention.

“How may I help you, sir?”

Your voice made something flutter in Logans’ stomach, but he pushed the feeling aside. He cleared his throat, shoving his hands in his pockets as he looked away in an attempt to straighten his thoughts.

“Does the library have books on mutants and their history?” He asked gruffly, fixing his eyes on you once more as he continued, “Specifically the mutation history?”

The way you blinked, pursing your lips in thought as you rubbed your chin made his heart thump oddly; why were you so… cute? At the thought, the mutant shook his head slightly, trying to clear his mind and focus on the task he’d been assigned.

“We have a mutant section in both fiction and nonfiction, but what you’re looking for is more likely in our history catalog,” you reached forward, typing something into the computer just beside you as you tapped your fingers against the wooden desk, “It might be in nonfiction, though. Is there a specific book you’re looking for?”

Logan watched you closely, his fingers twitching subtly as he felt the sudden urge to smoke; a cigar would’ve helped loosen him up, he guessed. He blinked when you suddenly addressed him, his focus shifting to what you’d said as he nodded and pulled out a small sticky note from his pocket. Written down in Chuck’s neat handwriting were the titles of the four books he needed, and the mutant handed it over with little a word.

You took the note in your hand, your fingers brushing against his as a shiver ran up his arm at the contact. The small hum that left you was, admittedly, kind of cute - it reminded him of a puppy trying to remember a command it was learning. As you scanned the list of books, a small smile graced your features, making the large room practically light up.

“Ah! We have three of these books!” You stated excitedly, turning back to your computer and presumably typing in their titles, “I know the one on mutant evolution in cells should be in mutant nonfiction - numbers 400 through 500 - but the other two I’m unsure of.”

When you got the answer you were looking for, your hand swooped as you scribbled out the location of each of the books Logan needed on a small slip of paper, the smile never leaving your face.

“They’re all very good books, you know,” your voice brought him out of his thoughts, “I’ve read the one on cell evolution and mutant development over the decades; they’re both packed full of information I think more folks should know.”

The fact you were pro-mutant - something so rarely seen these days - made a small part of Logan feel almost grateful. He had been expecting you to be closed off and aggressive (he didn’t know why that was his expectation, but considering how mutants were treated, he figured it was just how it was when he went out and about), but the way you so openly discussed that you thought people should learn more about mutants made him reconsider his opinions. After a pause, with the only sound nearby being the scratching of your pencil against paper, Logan spoke up.

“Do you have any other recommendations?” His fingers flexed, “On mutant history, that is.”

He watched as you seemingly perked up, the smile on your face turning to nearly a grin as you typed out something on the library computer,

“Actually, I do!”

When you found what you were looking for, the older mutant watched as you added a few more titles to the list of what he wanted and their location within the library.

“There’s a book on mutant inventions I always recommend, as well as one on the PTSD epidemic currently affecting mutants - that one is less history focused, but it’s still rather insightful,” He listened as you spoke with such certainty and excitement, as if the topic was one you were deeply invested in, “The only other one I could recommend would be by Dr. Hancock, a leading mutant researcher in cracking the X gene in mutants. That one is the last one on this list.”

With a slight tilt of your head, you set the paper with the list of books down on the desk in front of him, tapping it with your fingers as you seemingly thought for a pause. Logan glanced down at the paper before taking it in his hand, his eyes scanning your writing as he let out a grunt of approval - you were quick and efficient, and that was something he could appreciate.

“Can I ask you a question?” The mutant found himself asking, unable to keep the words from leaving him.

You simply nodded, still smiling so kindly as waited for him to ask.

“Why are you so… interested in mutants? You seem to know a lot,”

It was a harsh question - incredibly straightforward and blunt, just as he was - but you seemed to take it in stride, simply rubbing your chin as your gaze went upwards in thought. Logan decided he liked the way you looked when you were pondering something; it reminded him of something, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

“Well, my interest started primarily because I had a mutant friend when I was younger,” you admitted honestly, finally refocusing on him, “They taught me quite a lot - about the oppression and lack of rights - and after that I devoted time to learning as much as I could because I never wanted to make a mutant feel less than.”

Your answer had Logan pause, his eyebrows near lifting to his hairline as he stared down at your seated form; that was not the answer he was prepared for. He was prepared for you to say something like ‘I wanted to learn about others,’ or, ‘Mutants are fascinating,’ not that you wanted to make them feel equal. The thought had a slight smile tug at his expression, the sincerity in your words ringing true even for him.

“Bleeding heart, then,” He said with an amused huff, looking back down at the list in his hand before he gave you a slight nod, “Thank you. For the help.”

Logan watched as you laughed softly, picking up your book and flipping to the page with your bookmark in it,

“I’ll be here if you need more of it, sir.”

The smile on his face widened slightly as he finally stepped away from your desk, his fingers brushing over the paper he held as he began to step towards the part of the library you’d indicated was where the books he needed would be.

It was only when he found two of the books that he realized he didn’t have a library card. Fuck.

Am I back on my KimChay bullshit?

So like...the big sads have been real big, and so I truly haven't been doing anything in terms of writing, especially for my longform KimChay fic...but I'm still thinking about them, and I have a thought that I seriously doubt is original, and I'm very certain I've read at least a couple of fics with this included, and that is Virgin Kim.

^This Kim-100% a virgin for sure.

Leaving aside that virginity is a construct, it's not something I ever really thought a whole lot about when writing my fic. I honestly tend more towards an assumption that no one in KinnPorsche is a virgin except perhaps Tankhun...because of the whole Ace thing. (The Ace thing being some general fanon agreement that Tankhun is Ace, or at the very least somewhere within the asexual/aromantic spectrum.) So for myself, you could categorize that I present Chay as a virgin given that prior to his first time having sex with Kim he hadn't had penetrative sex with a partner of any gender. But even i don't have a hard line about that as a concept within the fic. I just felt like if you are going to be having sex with someone (especially penetrative sex) that's a conversation that needs to be had. So I had to basically decide Yes or No and I chose No. He hadn't done that particular act with another person, but he had engaged in other sexual acts and even fooled around on his own.

But to get to my actual point. There's a pretty clear idea of how the other TPK's whose sex lives that we have knowledge of, engage with the general idea of sex, and the act of sex. Both Kinn and Vegas engage in sex from a perspective of exerting control.

With Vegas this is pretty obvious in that he's very clearly portrayed as a Dominant. And even in (I'm gonna use the word relationship, but I mean that SOOO loosely) relationships beyond Pete where it's not an established and understood dynamic necessarily, he's always in control and he's often using sex as a way to manipulate or exert control over partners beyond the bedroom. We also know that he intentionally seeks out former sexual partners of Kinn specifically with the intent to fuck them as a way of kind of poking at Kinn. That's a not unrelated reason for his rather lackadaisical pursuit of Porsche.

Kinn is more subtle (just in general) than Vegas, but his relationship with sex does feel very directly related to control as well. Now I'm making some logical leaps, based on the information we're given in the series, my very poor memory of speed reading a moderately okay translation of the novel, and just a general understanding of the "standards" often seen in Thai BL especially around the time of KinnPorsche's release, but Kinn only tops. We see through the series some vague questioning of his ability to lead, and while his sexuality isn't brought up as a a reason why, there's kind of these things left unsaid. By being openly gay within the series, it doesn't seem to be something kept secret in any way, he's kind of starting out at a disadvantage, because realistically the people he's having to make deals with are gonna be homophobic. Social groups where the concept of masculinity is such an important part of a man's identity but also a framework that is pretty fucking narrow creates a space where homophobia will run pretty rampant. So it's 'okay' that Kinn has sex with men, but more specifically it's 'okay' because he's the one doing the fucking and not getting fucked. So in order to maintain this appearance of masculinity, he can't (and doesn't) bottom.

I don't think this is something that is set in stone, especially post series canon, and I've discussed oddly at length the position preferences of multiple BL characters (you can read that here I guess). But to summarize specifically Kinn and Vegas's preferences- Vegas always tops, even post series, and I'd hazard to say that prior to the story start would only choose to bottom in VERY specific circumstances. Kinn, as stated before has only topped within series canon and prior to it, but in post canon I believe that he would not solely top. I believe that as he becomes more comfortable and secure in his relationship with Porsche, they would eventually get to a point of not holding to that dynamic stringently. And this is both because of the level of trust they've built with each other, which you can see in the sort of playfulness that is present int heir sex lives after their kidnapping. But also (I think) because of the recognition that Kinn would have that he is the only man Porsche had ever been with and he should be able to have the full breadth of possible experiences when it comes to sex with men, they both should. From there, their more long-term preferences would develop once they have full understanding of all sides...you know?

Vegas, as a more 'traditional' Dom (realistically Kinn is Dominant in the way that many Tops in Thai BL are, in that it's almost more happenstance than intentional and it very rarely bleeds into the overall story) has a much deeper relationship between his desire for control and his preference for topping, because that control does bleed into all aspects of his relationship with Pete (and Tawan), not just their sex life.

And looking further you can pretty easily establish why they develop the preferences they have. They both want power because in the long run power means choices. And they both want control, not just over the TPK Family Business, but their own lives. By virtue of their birth and who their fathers are, neither Kinn nor Vegas have much control over their own lives. Outside of what they wear and who they sleep with, that's pretty much it a lot of the time. The expectations of how they should act, the acts they have to do in their roles as heir, filled with violence, blood, dishonesty. Every word from their fathers, the people they should be able to trust the most, full of hidden agendas, secret plans. This constant pressure of not even knowing if the choices you're making are your own, or are you being led into them like some obedient lamb? And perhaps if they truly trusted their fathers that idea of being led into certain 'choices' wouldn't be so bad, but they don't (and they shouldn't). So in one the few aspect of their lives in which every decision truly is theirs (who they sleep with and how)....they can't give up that control. Because this is almost the singular space in which they feel in control. They also can't be vulnerable in the way you would have to be, because they've been taught this ugly lesson that being vulnerable opens you up for people to use you, to hurt you, to plot against you.

And with that understanding of truly how little control any of this particular generations of TPK men has, where does that leave us for the rest. Tankhun, as discussed exerts his control by being out of control. Not a single person in the fandom truly believes that Tankhun is all the way cracked. Whether you think it comes and goes, or you think that he's kinda playing it up at this point in order to keep himself out of the Family Business, I don't know a single fan who thinks he's all the way gone.

But for Kim, who has removed himself both physically and emotionally from the family to try and take control, who has also been raised in these houses full of lies, where you can't really ever know who you can trust, where does that put him? For me, I think it's feasible that it puts Kim in a space where he doesn't ever open up to anyone in a way that becomes a physical sexual relationship. Even as a college student, moneyed, and living on his own, I don't think he's bringing "study dates" home. As a budding idol building a fanbase with an incredibly handsome face that could pull him a tail of myriad genders...I don't think he's going for it. His priorities as we've seen them are pretty limited, mostly based around his music career, and protecting his siblings, and little else. And I do think a lot of this is related to his age, we don't really have hard numbers in the book or the series, but general idea is he leaves the Main Family house around 16. Now he could have already have been having sex, but these control and trust issues would have already existed prior to the move out. Plus the general average age of loss of virginity is around 18-20 pretty much across the board, and it's potential that he wouldn't have had the desire or opportunity prior to the move out. (This whole discussion does hinge on him wanting to have sex, I'll touch on AroAceKim later.)

And post moveout, he's now got all of your standard adult responsibilities and expectations while still being a kid. Adultified-ness of all of the KinnPorsche characters of that generation aside, that's a lot to handle mentally. And we've seen other characters handle it through sex, Kinn and Porsche specifically, but is that truly an option for Kim? Kinn can take whoever he wants to the Main Family house and not truly be worried about what they might see or hear, because they're either pre-screened, or a part of that social circle. But Kim's option is his only private space and the first space he's occupied that's really his, and he doesn't have (can also be read as refuses to use) resources that would prescreen potential sex partners, and also doesn't want anything to do with people who exist in that social circle, because he's trying to distance himself from it. Porsche can bang chicks in the back alley behind Hum Bar whenever he wants, but if Kim does want to actively pursue his music career, that's not really an option for him, because of the expectation of a moral standard from musicians/idols in Thailand.

So it's entirely reasonable to think that prior to the series and his relationship with Chay that he wouldn't have been sexually experienced. I do think the novel operates under an assumption of previous sexual experience, but not in any truly thought out or character driven way in my opinion. And the novel very directly presents the Kim Chay love story as one of first love for BOTH sides. Yes, it's very much in a doomed romance Romeo and Juliet way, but it's very clearly meant to show that both of them are experiencing this for the first time. (See previous ramble about this here.) And without the sort of naive confidence that love gives you to do something 'stupid' would Kim have ever really have taken the chance by having a sexual relationship with anyone else. Signs point to No.

And the portrayal of Kim by Jeff within the series supports this to me. In interactions with practically every character except Chay he's very detached, very serious, even his small quips with Tankhun feel distant. And in the beginning, he's distant from Chay, but Chay's warmth kind of breaks though, specifically in a way that he finds both surprising and terrifying. The moment of recognition he has in episode 5 that Chay kinda just is who he is, there's no subterfuge, almost leaves him at a loss for words. I know we joke about how the series presents Kim to be this ridiculously inept detective, but I really do feel like that's more a result from him dealing with someone who has no plan or interest in lying to him...something he's basically never encountered before. And Chay's casual honesty and openness pretty quickly disarms Kim completely, and then we're seeing him have that "Oh...OH" moment where he first really knows that his feelings for Chay are both real and real serious. So realistically, within the narrative that we've been presented, Chay is the first person Kim has loved romantically, and we see him be there first person that Kim takes risks for, that he truly reenters the mafia world for, breaking promises he'd made to himself in order to keep Chay safe. And he's the first person we really see Kim be unselfish for. None of us as viewers really blame him for 'being selfish' in regards to leaving the Family Business to pursue music, though other members of the Family (*cough* Korn *cough*) do see his choices that way. And his choice to kind of let Chay hate him is an attempt to be unselfish, to put this person he values more than himself first with the hope that this will mean he'll be safe. {It's a stupid decision, but it does come from a good place, and also I think he thought Porsche would take Chay and run after the kidnapping.}

So all of this to say...I think narratively it would make sense for Kim to be a virgin at the time of the events of the series. Because while theoretically he would have had ample time and opportunity to have sex with whoever he pleased, he's a fucked up little guy. One who struggles to trust and be open with anyone, and while sex doesn't inherently require trust, I think especially as a teen when this freedom first came to him, it would have. Because he's been smacked by the hand that feeds him a lot.

My notes about Kim's slow recognition of his feelings for Chay and their depth also explains why many fans see Kim existing somewhere within the AroAce spectrum, as he does seem very caught off guard by the whole concept of love especially. Because it is easy to understand why he may not trust love as a concept, while still knowing that he does love his brothers and I think wants to love his father. But romantic love seems practically made up and you have to figure the only example of that he'd ever have seen in real life might have been Kinn's relationship with Tawan, which ended in betrayal.

I actually think it's more reasonable to assume Chay is sexually experienced. Because I think that sex would have been discussed pretty matter-of-factly in their home, making it something that wasn't necessarily precious, but also wasn't something to play around with willy-nilly. I don't think that Porsche would have ever really discouraged Chay from having sex, but would have rather bluntly instructed him on how to do it safely, because risks of pregnancy or an STI are simply not risks they can take. And so at 17 or 18, whether before he met Kim, or during their break-up era, I think it's not outside of the realm of possibility that Chay would have experimented sexually, especially considering that he did have fairly poor supervision for a teenager. (I don't blame Porsche, he was doing his best.) Really the only thing that makes me hesitant on being 100% sure on the sex thing before he meets Kim is that we do know that Kim is the first person he's ever confessed to. And while feelings aren't required for sex, Chay is a rather romantic soul and so I think would want to have feelings involved if he was having sex. This does go a bit out the window during break-up era because while I don't see him making a direct choice to have sex with someone as a sort of revenge against Kim, I can see him following the "the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else" mantra in an emotional way. Try to pursue something with someone new with this idea that if he can just push past all this and really put his feeling for Kim behind him in this sort of 'first heartbreak' memory bank he'll just never have to think about it or deal with it again.

Well that was 2.6k words that I probably could have summed up in under 100 but....it is what it is. I hope you enjoyed.

I remember you mentioning Helen not ideally liking kids. But can we have headcanons on Helen with his child? like after said child was born and him being a father and all that?

Bloody Painter as a Father

idk if it will be written by the time this posts (unlikely) but i really need to continue the 7mih creepypasta series GROWLS, or at least get the next ending finished hisshiss... considering utilizing quotevs quiz stuff to do something else too... ooooo but i still got that creepypasta art project i need to work on hisshiss... so many things to do as an aside i need to reread some creepypasta stuff RAAAAAAH its been so long and im feeling nostalgic notes: reader is gn, you help him a lot during this, bro kind of... doesnt know how to parent, short post, gn child/non specific age CWs: implied child abuse but its only vaguely mentioned

he does... not know how to take care of a kid. sure he knows that kids need naps and snacks and affection and yadda yadda yadda... but the way he goes about it is almost... robotic...

what do kids even like? i mean... the kid isnt crying when he has his... usual.... stiff body language....

its going to take a long long time for him to even begin loosening up and adjusting to things, and become.... warmer...

he doesnt hate the kid, of course not. but youre not going to see him coo and do baby voices, things like that just feel foreign to him- his own parents werent warm to him so he has zero framework to go off of

also may mirror some of the behaviors of his parents- that is a concern he has that it will spiral into something worse and hes grateful youre there to speak up when something isnt normal or okay, you help him reel himself back in and pick it apart to understand and work it out of him

he does care about his kid but sometimes hes viewed more of a father than a dad- hes not aggressive. not at all. its the emotional distance and struggle to connect

it does get better with time, though, even if slowly

the kid will get older and can understand more complex things than shapes and colors- oddly enough he actually gives them pretty solid advice on most things.... ignoring the fact that sometimes the advice may not be the best in normal societal standards... hes still a murderer, after all

i’ve stared at this for so long that i now hate it and think ive lost all concept of how to write so take this and get it out of my google docs

the introduction is rough and the medical depictions (and accuracy/realism) could use some (a lot of) work but whatever! here it is, my vague yet still oddly specific idea of how the face reveal would go in @myriadblvck ’s streamer au:

tw: description of a panic attack? i think?

[this takes place post first irl meet but before they’re officially together]

imagine ghost has a glasgow smile but on one side they carved a little too deep and left some nerve damage. time and surgery helped, after which he could eat unimpeded and talk without a lisp, but there's still some facial nerve damage and/or skin contractures from scarring, specifically around the corner of his mouth.

now, everytime he smiles, be it shit eating grin or a full genuine joy filled smile that not even grumpy mcgrumperson could hold off, it always looks wrong because one corner doesn't raise fully like the other.

everything else is fine, there isn’t any facial paralysis, he just smiles… wrong. especially since only one eye properly squints when he smiles, giving him the look of someone who got stuck mid wink.

if he wants to look “normal” (or as normal as he could get it) he has to manually squint his other eye. still, it always felt weird; you don't realize how much those muscles affect the rest of your face until they're gone.

it's why he learned to always wear the mask.

when his expression is neutral, you don’t really notice it. if you can see his mouth when he talks however, it’s obvious that there’s something wrong. he wouldn’t say he’s necessarily ashamed of the scars and damage itself, but it’s the stares that are the worst. before he started hiding behind it, people would openly gawk or even glare at him as if he was some ne’er-do-well gang member that got what was coming to him.

he still remembers the cosmetic surgeon that had been talking to him about fixing the contractures— the whole appointment was a fucking nightmare. the cuts had healed nicely enough especially considering how bad it could have been; he was lucky to only need a little cosmetic help. the only reason he was there was so he could fucking eat food without struggling to open his mouth.

the doctor spent god knows how long breaking down everything wrong with his face like he was a fucking car mechanic lying about how dirty your filter is. the guy constantly mentioned that while he was under, they could also fix his jawline, do a rhinoplasty, trying to break him down to agree to more work.

he was already fuming my the time the doc brought up how kids would react. asking ghost if he wanted to scare children since “you cant expect the little youngins that are still learning about the world to not get scared by something scary,” and that “even some adults would cringe at the scarring.”

what stuck out most was the condescending smile he had when he said it. as if he was pointing out the obvious and ghost was being stupid and shortsighted by not agreeing.

he declined everything except what was medically necessary. the procedure went fine and after an aggravatingly long recovery period, he could eat solid foods again without issue. but the comments still stuck with him.

…okay, maybe he’s a little ashamed.

scaring kids with your face doesn’t feel good and being reminded of everything you’ve lost when you try to smile can really fuck you up in a way words fail to describe.

so yeah, he hates it. he’s gotten used to the mask, both skull clad balaclava and simple medical mask, being a permanent layer of armor. even now that he’s a bit more comfortable in his own skin it still feels wrong to pull it off.

when he gets close to soap, it still feels like a layer of vulnerability that he’ll never be prepared for.

the first time he let soap see his face, there hadn’t been any grandiose build up, no extravagant planning.

simon had arrived just a few hours earlier. he hated commercial flights with a burning passion but it was always worth it to see johnny.

with soaps twin out of town for the week, he had decided to take leave to spend time with his friend, a friend that he most certainly did NOT have a crush on (a disclaimer roach and gaz heard everytime they started snickering over ghost taking leave.)

johnny had cooked something nice and simple for dinner, saying that simon had spent too long with MREs and deserved real food (ghost only agreed if he was the one washing the dishes, soap had laughed and told him he's not so kind as to let him off the hook for chores).

when they ate, it was always in the living room with johnny taking care to always stay angled away from simon, never trying to catch a glimpse, regardless of how much he wanted to see what was under the mask. the obvious gesture of kindness and respect for his boundaries always left him feeling all weird and fuzzy inside. but, then again, johnny seemed pretty good at triggering that feeling in general.

their finished plates were on the coffee table and johnny was watching whatever dumb movie he had put on. he was pretty sure the man spent more time talking over it and making fun of everything than he did actually watching it (it was simon’s favorite way to watch a movie.)

ghost however, was watching soap. thinking.

in the end, it was an impulsive decision made after a strong three seconds of consideration.

“you uhm— you can look by the way,” ghost stared at the can of soda in his hands, immediately regretting the words.

“what?” soap didn’t fully turn, just shifted slightly to hear him better. a simple gesture to show he was listening without turning to face him. it normally made simon happy to see that johnny was more than willing to accommodate for his boundaries. now though it made him feel stupid for robbing johnny of a normal face to face conversation, a normal human interaction, just over his idiotic insecurities.

“my face, you—,” he felt his heart block his airway and tried clearing his throat before continuing, “you can look if you want,” christ he wanted the ground to swallow him whole. why was he getting so fucked up over this?

“are you sure?” he hadn’t turned yet, but ghost could see his pensive expression from here. this should be nothing. realistically, he knew johnny seeing his scars wouldn’t suddenly make him hate him… right?

“yes.”

but it was more than the fear of hatred, wasn’t it? he was scared that johnny would see him. see more than just the scars, see all of the ugly idiosyncrasies and insecurities laid bare. afraid that johnny would see the truth of how unlovable he was.

jesus he was getting so fucking worked up and dramatic over nothing.

ghost didn’t look up. he made an effort to not focus on his peripheral vision. he heard soap turn, heard the intake of breath. the silence was loud only for a second. then, deafening white noise surrounded him, inescapable, suffocating.

fuck.

he didn’t regret giving permission but god did he regret everything else; the stupid scars, the stupid nerve damage, the stupid way he had managed to fall for someone so fucking good like johnny while he was unequivocally unworthy of his love.

stop being so fucking dramatic. you are not together, never have been and never will be. reality was blatant in front of him but it didn’t stop his heart from foolishly hoping.

he heard soap stand and walk closer. saw from where he was still staring a hole in the can his feet step in front of his. saw johnny’s hands raise. he took a deep breath in, closed his eyes, and with a great deal of effort didn’t flinch when soaps fingers grazed his cheek.

both of his hands came up to cup his face, holding him and ever so slightly tilting his face up, giving him the chance to pull away. he didn’t. he may be a coward but he wasn’t backing down.

ghost eventually opened his eyes to see soap staring at him with wide eyes. he looked away, staring off to some point on the right. he hated not knowing what soap was thinking.

they stayed there for a while before soap broke the silence, muttering, “i fuckin knew you had freckles.”

it was stupid but it shocked a laugh out of ghost. he meant to drop his head, embarrassed that something so dumb made him laugh, but accidentally just pushed himself further into soaps hands making him blush.

he looked up and saw soap staring even harder than before. the chuckle died in his chest.

“do that again.”

ghost just gave him a confused look.

“smile.”

such a simple request, a one word sentence, but it set his face ablaze. his breath caught in his throat, somewhere around where his heart was still trying to choke him.

…he hadn’t thought it was that bad but soaps reaction indicated otherwise. fuck. was his it that awful? he wanted the ground to swallow him whole. this was stupid. he was stupid.

“simon,” of course, one word from johnny and it felt like he could breathe again.

“please?”

fucking goddamn soap and his stupid fucking puppy dog eyes and the way he has ghost wrapped around his fucking finger without even realizing.

ghost smiled. there was no real mirth, more a grimace than anything else. he just wanted to get this over with.

soap was still staring at him, his thumbs tracing his lips, following scars, drawing imaginary lines between freckles… if he wasn't so terrified it might have felt nice.

“Christ,” ghosts heart cracked more, “you weren't lying when you said you were beautiful.”

ghost huffed a laugh and went back to staring off to the right, the fake smile dropping. of course soap would try to lighten the mood with a joke.

his panic fled as quickly as it had consumed him, now just left sitting in soap's living room, face still cradled in caring hands, resigned to his mistakes.

he felt so tired and johnny's hands felt so inviting.

“i wasn't joking,” soap looked…upset? angry? wait— fuck, what’d he do?

ghost stared back at soap, confused and tired. soaps nails felt the grooves of the scar, catching where the skin was raised and lowered.

“you don't have to lie, soap. im a grown man. I'm not fragile. you don't need to coddle me,” ghost said it like it was a joke, hoping soap would laugh along and that this would all just blow over. that tomorrow morning they could forget this ever happened.

“are you calling me a liar?” soap’s brow furrowed. great. instead, he had managed to make everything worse and piss off soap as well.

ghost took in a deep breath, giving himself another shot at calming things down, “no, I'm not. I think you're lying, but you're not a liar,” he stood and stepped to the side, grabbing their dirty plates and walking them to the kitchen sink, “you just don't want to upset me, it's fine. I get it. you're a nice person but you don't have to lie to spare my feelings.”

“I am not fucking lying!” as per usual, all ghost had managed to do was make things worse. there’s a reason he had decided to stick to the battlefield and give up on domesticity.

“well alright then. agree to disagree,” he turned the kitchen tap and started rinsing the dishes, waiting for the water to heat up. just walk away. end it there. let us forget about this stupid blunder and move on. please just leave it. please, please, please—

“no.”

the force behind it damn near made ghost drop the plate he was holding. he managed to set it in the sink carefully and turned to face soap, who was now in the kitchen as well.

“i— I'm not just gonna fucking— simon,” soap took in a deeper breath and went to continue but ghost was faster.

“johnny,” he interrupted, walking forward with his hands up in a gesture of surrender, approaching slowly.

one last chance to not fuck everything up.

“the fact is they're called deformities for a reason. they're not cute. they're not pretty. they're your body’s way of healing what it can and protecting what it can't. it's not meant to look nice, it's just—”

“bullshit they’re not pretty! says fucking who?” the genuine distress in soap’s voice and force behind his words caught him off guard. “simon—”

he huffed and ran his fingers through his hair roughly, pulling slightly at the strands. christ, ghost needs to shut the fuck up. every single time he speaks he just upsets soap more and more.

he needs to retake his hostage negotiations courses. clearly he has forgotten everything about how to diffuse a situation.

johnny takes another second to breathe and collect his thoughts before he speaks.

“simon. I know that— that ‘this’ isn't something that's going to fix itself overnight and I don't expect it to. but, ‘the fact is,’ I think you're pretty.”

ghost opens his mouth to disagree but johnny doesn’t let him.

“no no,” johnny put his hand over simon’s mouth, shocking him into silence. he blinks twice, stupefied.

“i think— no. I know you're pretty. cute even. beautiful is a given but obviously worth mentioning.”

his hand moved to cup simon’s cheek. ghost grabbed his wrist but didn’t stop him, wether it was a warning or encouragement he himself didn’t know.

johnny continued, unperturbed, “you disagreeing doesn't change that, right?”

there was a pause and simon realized he wanted an answer.

“johnny-”

“ah ah!” his hand moved back to cover his mouth, grabbing his face and shaking his head back and forth, over accentuating his words, “you disagreeing doesn't change that, right? yes or no.”

he stopped shaking him and moved his hand back to simon’s cheek. simon sighed, defeated, “yes. you are right.”

johnny looked smug, “good. and what do you say when i give you a compliment you don’t agree with?”

simon sputtered, “wha— i don't fucking know—”

“nothing! you don’t say anything!” soap looked way too proud of himself and he continued, “or thank you if you feel so inclined.”

“that was a trick question,” simon replied eventually.

johnny thumbed over his scars once more, again tracing them, “sure it was. now go take a shower.”

he patted his cheek twice and walked to the hallway.

“wait,” johnny probably shook the few remaining brain cells out of his head. “this whole conversation ends with you telling me that I stink?”

“yes. rancid,” johnny opened the door to the linen closet. simon was still in the kitchen. the tap was still running.

“no dipshit, do you not remember telling me that commercial planes makes you feel gross?” johnny threw a towel at him, which he caught just in time for johnny to hit him with a bath rag.

ghost had mentioned that… ages ago, he thinks. on facetime with each other, discussing the merits of bathrooms on public transport. he had said that enclosed, crowded spaces like commercial planes or buses made him feel, well, gross. how—or why—did he remember that?

“but… I’m supposed to wash the dishes?” a weak argument against the stubbornness he was faced with but simon had officially lost track of his mind and this conversation.

johnny shot him a weird look as he walked back towards the kitchen sink. simon still hadn’t moved.

“did you think i was being serious earlier?”

“yes???” he felt like he had been given a lobotomy.

johnny decided to take pity on him and explained in a soft voice that felt out of place, “i was being sarcastic. i’m not going to make you wash the dishes, simon.”

“but that was the agreement: you cook and i wash the dishes.”

johnny laughed as if he remembered something funny, “yeah, i lied.”

simon still stood there, trying to figure out if he had a stroke. johnny had been angry, completely pissed at him, but now was letting him off the hook and calling him pretty? what the fuck is happening?

johnny turned him and pushed him towards the hallway. simon could have resisted but his resolve always seems to crumble around johnny mactavish.

“now go shower, you beautiful bastard,” soap grabbed one of the plates out of the sink and started washing it with water that had probably heated ages ago.

ghost walked towards the bathroom, feeling like he was on autopilot, limbs disconnected from his brain. his cheek still felt… odd? weird? tingly?

it felt something from where johnny had grabbed it. ghost thinks… he thinks he likes the feeling, whatever it is.

he needs to sleep.

AITA for sleeping with a 20 year old?

tw: mentions of potential grooming, age gap relationships, nsft/nsfw, vague discussions of sex

So, me (38m) and my wife (39f) are in an open relationship. Basically, we’re both bisexual and not quite ready to limit our sex lives to one person yet. So, we decided to allow friends with benefits situations outside of our relationship. No romantic stuff, no dating, just sex.

In January, my wife went to stay at her best friend’s (28f) house and have some fun together. I don’t mind at all, I was kind of glad to have our apartment to myself for a week. Now, there’s this queer bar that me and my wife frequent and it’s a good mix of all age demographics and identities.

There’s this one trans guy, I’ll call him M, that most people in the local community know because he’s very attractive. He reminds me of a very short Eric Draven mixed with Eddie Vedder. (Oddly specific, I know) Like, he has long-ish curly brown hair, big brown eyes, the sweetest smile ever and he dresses very well. A little grunge here, a little rockstar there. Good jewelry. You get it.

I always catch people staring at him when he’s at the bar with his friends. (We live in Europe btw, legal drinking age is 18.) In short, I find him very cute. He’s basically a micro celebrity among the community and he doesn’t even know it.

So, while my wife was away I went down to the bar and his friend group invited me to come sit with them. We started talking, he’s super funny and we began talking about Pearl Jam because of the shirt I was wearing. Found out he’s obsessed with the music scene of the 90s, specifically rock and grunge, and I happen to have a collection of merchandise of the big 4. I invited him to come check it out and he eagerly accepted. None of his friends wanted to come, so it was just us two. Showed him the stuff, he got super excited about it and I even let him keep one of my Soundgarden shirts and some CDs.

I offered to cook dinner, we ate and then had some weed brownies for dessert. We got posted on the couch, talked for a good while and he began confiding in me. I’m not gonna go into detail because that’s shitty, but he basically told me he’d never had a positive sexual experience up to that point. Apparently all of his exes were switches leaning submissive and he’s purely submissive, so things never really worked out and he never finished with any of them.

I told him about me and my wife’s arrangements and some other stuff about our sex life. (Don’t worry, my wife is 100% okay with this. Even in this context.)

Here’s where I might be the asshole, if not the creep:

Now, I was pretty high at that point and I joked about how I could give him a positive experience. To my surprise, he actually eagerly accepted. I was a bit hesitant because we were both buzzed, but he kept reiterating that he’s consenting and that he’s sure he wants this. So, I made sure he had a good night and he actually ended up sleeping over and we cuddled. It was super nice and he seemed genuinely ecstatic about it the next morning, it was adorable. I was honestly just happy that I was able to give him a positive sexual encounter.

We exchanged numbers, kept texting for two days and he ended up coming over again. Had some more fun together and he went to go sleep over at a friend’s place. At that point, I sort of realized that I may be catching feelings for him. Which is against me and my wife’s rules and also just a horrible idea, especially considering the age gap. So, I let him know that I need some distance and he was super understanding. He was understandably a bit disappointed but didn’t complain or anything.

Once my wife came back, I told her about everything. This is just a thing we do because it helps avoid speculation and unnecessary jealousy. We always tell each other about what happens with our other sexual partners, but only if they consent to it. Which most of them do because they’re our friends. She seemed a bit unnerved by it, not because of the fact that I had feelings for him, but because of the age difference. She said it’s weird and predatory and told me she needed some time to think.

Apparently, she went to go check in on M and asked him if I pressured him into anything. He said it was a 100% mutual thing and he’s very much into older guys, so he enjoyed it quite a lot.

This put her mind at ease but I’m still quite shaken by it. I never stopped to consider the fact that the age difference is quite concerning. I can’t help but feel like a nasty creep that bribed some poor 20 year with old band shirts to come sleep with him. I don’t like that I didn’t even think about it. Talking with M came so easy and we share a lot of interests. I’m not about to go and say he’s 'mature for his age' because he isn’t, he acts like any other 20 year old.

I was just so focused on how attractive and interesting he is to me, I fear I might’ve acted extremely selfish and should’ve stopped to take his lack of experience and his naivety into account. Of course he’d sleep with me, he’s 20 and doesn’t know any better. It should’ve been my job, as the older adult, to put a stop to it. Please don’t hesitate to give it to me straight.

AITA?

What are these acronyms?

hits them with my super cool alien mutant creaturification ray

yeah so i made an au about it

(rambles below the cut + bonuses)

don bully me about any of this please heart emoji im sensitive and this is like my first post in this fandom be nice pretty pretty please

FIRST! i rambled at my friends about this au even tho they only know about pd because of me so heres the screenshots of that👍

if you couldn't tell im very normal

NEXT !! design notes except slightly more understandable

i based alot of these guys on real animal species so they don't exactly seem *alien*? just mutant but like bare with me here

Vyncent: lore wise his planet is mostly fractured, causing it to basically be a bunch of floating islands with and atmosphere and such, so i was like heehh why not bird him yk? alot of the details are still elf like but like he has talons and shit because of course, it's not shown but a species trait on everyone of his species is infact having slits on their back, even if the person does not have wings for any reason. outfit wise the main thought was..spaceship?? suit?? practical??? i forgot to draw it but he has so many fucking pockets its genuinely insane, like there are pockets on his *sleeves* (that are usually unusable because he likes em rolled up:])

Ashe: i kept him *mostly* just a guy because its important to his story i think...but you see. aliens. so shes actually based on a species i made a long time ago that is effectively just space fish, he's specifically a type of space fish based on the purple emporer tetra!! they specifically didn't get very many visual or physical differences, and is very much on the low end of visual differences, shes the most humanoid like ever. outfit wise i made it mostly diff than the others, the others have relatively similar outfits that correlate to the tactical being in space vibe, but theirs is very oddly human, despite humans being intensely rare

(space fish stuff is basically just creatures similar to fish from earth or prime but evolved to take literally any amount of oxygen anywhere, including space, wnd turn it into something they can breath)

Dakota: hes vaguely dinosaur adjacent? except. alot of the genes show through via internal organs and strength, though his skin is alot rouguer and has some scales on certain joints and such nd also has intensely sharp teeth, outfit wise i wanted it to be something he could move around in well as well as something that appears as close as possible to the expectation of what hes supposed to wear while working, because he wants to meet that expectation so so much, but he can't, because its not reachable for him? yeah i made his outfit have angst what about it:3

general species lore wise there's a planet which creatures somewhat genetically similar to dinosaurs reside, however they're also alot smaller and beefier, and the planet is vaguely desert like, so they've got water storage and such!! yeah i know alot about evolution mhmhm definitely

William: hes got layers. many. he effectively went through a species change? his planet is ecologically very similar to earth and prime, except they have. basically cryptids, the planet is so intensely fucked up, theres shadow creatures that nibble on you and you just kinda gotta live with that, and he was like that, his species could go invisible and hide in the shadows. HOWEVER, the horrors, he died and got cooler:3 when experincing intense emotions or in immediate danger, he will go progressively more intangible and grow less opaqe, depending on the severity, starting from the hands and legs. design wise i just thought the jacket was cool lmao there was no thought. also i thought a tail with wispy fire looked cool so. yeah i put thought into the others, he js looks like that

PLEASE drop questions in my ask box i BEG of you

BONUS DOODLES:3 (can you tell who my favorite is ((super hard)))

k bye

#DROP QUESTIONS IN MY ASK BOX PRETTY PLEASE🔥🔥🔥🔥#kais alien scifi pd au #<- temp tag even tho i prolly won post about this muchl #jrwi pd #jrwi prime defenders #prime defenders #au shenanigans #yeah #jrwi fanart #fanart #my art #my art<3 #okay final tag #Ferals chatter🪿#k bye🫶#kaspdau

Well, I just turned 42. I'm celebrating by reviewing a toy. Specifically, I'm solving a 20-year mystery.

Behold, Mutant Spawn. At a size and image quality we didn't have at the time. I loved me some monsters even then, but this never appeared in my area. I puzzled over this photo again and again, trying to parse what I was even looking at. Why is the armor vomiting his face? Why is there half a bear trap hanging off his kidneys? And bug wings?

Not that I was looking very hard, but this had bothered me ever since. This year, I pulled the trigger. And boy howdy, was it cheap.

Okay then. The card only makes things more confusing. Somehow Spawn (or an alternate timeline version thereof) has become a "dual being", a poisonous (and deadly!) predator that poses as a harmless bug to trick evildoers. I guess this is post-Armageddon, then. Let's do this.

Ah... hmm. I'm enamored with the way that head just sort of oozes out and dangles. It wobbles around a lot too, which is doubly hilarious. What I took to be a serrated metal jaw is in fact a textured, fairly smooth... Well, a friend of mine said it looks like an... adult swing. The four tongues lolling out of the mouth don't help, nor does the spiky toilet bowl collar. The jaws (and mechanical blade-tentacles, boasting a whopping two hinge joints each), are blatantly pegged into a plain black hinge jutting from the sternum.

Articulation is minimal: swivel hips and shoulders, and the head can stand at half-mast if you wedge it up there real good, but no turning it at all. It also retracts into the armor. The aforementioned tentacles have their hinges, as does the tail- which is just another tentacle. On another obvious hinge. The jaw can actually hinge all the way up over the head.

The hands have holes for accessories, but none are present. The holes are the super tiny kind, too, which makes 'em pretty useless, eh? Not sure what might have been planned there, really. He could probably carry the original Spawn's nail-board, though.

Now, "mutant" I get. "Spawn", sure. There'd already been a few odd permutations. But I'm not sure how much of this thing is even organic. All that red and black mostly has the pebbly texture of the chunky armor bits Al was rocking at the time, but there are several portions- the forearms and torso, chiefly- that are purely mechanical, with a stylized endoskeleton look.

In fact, if you lift the bug wings (and we'll touch on those momentarily), the only recognizably organic parts are the head and this hideous lump of alien-looking meat. Almost as if this is just a suit construct housing the little undead tentacle monster that used to be Spawn. The lump is actually soft rubber, and kind of fun to touch.

The wings are a point of contention here. Boxed, mine had them mounted on the forearms. Fortunately, there are holes on the back that will let them rest against the back, where they nestle snugly over Mutant Spawn's apparent mutant slug butt. Some shipments had four wings, but I didn't get that lucky. They were reused for Manga Violator, which is surely even cheaper, but I don't even want half of that thing clogging the parts bin. I'm fine with just rear ones for now.*

And now, the harmless looking insect-like creature. A golf cart sized cyber bulldog with rhino skin, bug wings and a bladed tail. And two shorter bladed tails. "Harmless". The future must be pretty bad if this doesn't set off alarm bells anymore.

A bit of research tells me this started life as Chameleon Spawn. When color-changing paint didn't cost out, they reworked a few small touches and released it this way. And also with four wings. And later, with four organic bendy tentacles, and blue patches on the armor. There may have been a solid silver version too.

And with that, I think I can officially proclaim this the Worst Trainwreck in the original Spawn line. Everything from the design to the engineering, from the odd variants to the terribly vague (and yet oddly specific) backstory, stumbles across the finish line sideways with drinks in hand. Sculpt and Paint did their best with the ingredients they were given (apparently you can polish a turd), but garbage in, garbage out.

Well, that's my bit. And remember, kids: always research before you buy. If you can't find more than one source, nobody else wanted it either.

* I had ordered the four-tentacled one, but there was a mixup. The seller didn't even want this back, so it's getting harvested for wings when that shows up, and this uniquely awful piece will take it's place on the shelf.

When and how did you get into One Piece? =)

Hey there! 😄 I’ve actually never been asked this question outright, but I’ve rehearsed it a bit with my sister—she could probably pinpoint exactly when and how I got into One Piece. But I’ll tell the story myself!

So, I initially had just a vague idea of what One Piece was. I used to work at a novelty store that had a section full of One Piece merch, with the Straw Hat Jolly Roger and Monkey D. Luffy right at the center of it all. I was also vaguely familiar with Nami and Zoro because, at one point, I shipped them (and, oddly enough, I still do in a very low-key, passive way 🤷🏽‍♀️). I even read a few fanfics about that pairing back in the day, so I kind of knew One Piece existed, both the anime and the manga.

Then it came back onto my radar when I watched a Japanese drama called Todome no Kiss starring Mackenyu (because, let’s be real, I thought he was handsome). While looking him up, I noticed he was listed in an upcoming project—and surprise! It was One Piece! That got me curious enough to finally check out the manga and anime. My curiosity grew even more after I saw a trailer and first look at the live-action adaptation.

One specific clip really caught my attention: Sanji (played by Taz Skylar) flirting with Nami (Emily Rudd) during the Baratie scene where the crew first meets him. That got me invested, and when I saw the cast photos and promos, I noticed Jacob Romero’s picture as Usopp. My immediate reaction was, “Wait, there’s a Black person in the cast?!” and “There’s a Black character in One Piece?!” Seeing that representation genuinely mattered to me.

As I dove deeper, Usopp slowly but surely became my favorite character. Even though I haven’t watched the live-action yet, I’ve been watching the anime and recently started re-reading the East Blue arc (because it’s just so good). I’ve tackled the series in a bit of a mixed way—half manga (pre-timeskip) and half anime (post-timeskip)—so some parts blur together for me. I actually watched a lot of the anime during a fall break a while back, which added to the nostalgia.

So, yeah, that’s my One Piece journey! Thanks so much for asking—I loved sharing it. 😘😘😘

I’ve been holding back on this headcanon for too long and I think I’ll explode if I don’t write it down somewhere.

SO. We know that Grian has the Widow Curse - in which he will ultimately end up killing his allies, or contributing help towards said allies’ deaths (and I’m purposely avoiding referring to it as the Icarus Curse simply because it doesn’t match up for this hc).

So what animal does the word ‘widow’ remind you of? For me, I instantly think a widow spider. And that’s what this post is basically exploring.

When characters are assigned a hybrid status, you will usually see physical traits that relate.

But Grian already has wings as he is always going to remain some kind of winged creature in my head - to divert from that is basically impossible in my head. That makes his back a very cluttered set of extra limbs if we’re deciding to include the extra four legs to add up to eight, and although that idea may sound rough to think about in terms of coherent design, I couldn’t give a fuck because having countless extra limbs that a normal player should not have is ultimate eldritch energy, which I think we can all agree that Grian exudes by default.

Basically, this is me giving Grian the most disturbing and unimaginable designs possible while still looking vaguely human (???).

Then we go onto the eyes, spiders have many eyes, eight to be exact, which ties very neatly into Grian being a Watcher. Lots of eyes to Watch, so really nothing changes much other than the fact that there are multiple eyes on Grian’s face all the time, and not just when he Watches.

Another thing that makes sense by default is that, like many animals in the wild, the males are smaller than the females by about half an inch. He’s short.

AND ODDLY ENOUGH, (though this one is more specific for Limited Life) widow spiders have a red-orange hour glass shape on their abdomens. And who is in charge of timing the sessions, with announcing halftime breaks, with deciding the end of the session, therefore stopping time/the sand in the hourglass from falling??? THIS ELDRITCH-SPIDER-WATCHER-AVIAN (+wither if I insert another one of mind melting headcanons in) THING!!!!

THESE SPIDERS ARE VENOMOUS, GRIAN IS VENOMOUS TO THOSE AROUND HIM!!!! THIS SHIT WRITES ITSELF!!!

ALSO!!!!: “habitat: will build irregular, erratic webs in quiet undisturbed areas” After three games - after the curse has been officially solidified - where does he build his bases? A deserted and oddly empty mansion, and a quiet hilltop. What do his bases look like? An odd bridge along with a tall grid above the server to Watch from, no set shape for the base ever. And then an erratically built abstract staircase leading to nowhere and an irregular second base shaped as an egg (spiders lay eggs guysssss).

AND FINALLY: “Despite their venom, black widows are typically non-aggressive” Grian is not one of the openly hostile players like maybe Martyn or Joel, he stays back and fights if necessary or entertaining.

Oh and how Spider of Grian to lure his prey into his web, to care for them until they get caught and stuck, and they can do nothing but wait for Grian’s venom to sink in, not even knowing that what they were stepping into was simply a trap set by Fate, who also goes by Other Names.

#grian #life series #life series smp #traffic smp #widow curse #3rd life #last life #double life #limited life #secret life #I will probably elaborate more on my Wither headcanon later on #whether people want me to or not #watcher grian

Day 12 of 30 days of Our Wonderland

ohohoho….mayhaps….perchance I do…

Here’s a somewhat comprehensive list of all my ow headcanons(JFC these took ages to collect, alas):

Generally:

•post ow ending/ow epilogue Gidget, Cecil and Orlam are in an open relationship polycule

•in wonderland Gidget and Orlam may have had a fling or tried to get together at times but it never really worked out due to Gidget not feeling quite right about themselves etc so they just ended up fairly good friends/monarch partners in crime in wonderland

•Genzou's Mom would be for some reason babysitting Orlam so they were forced to get along and Genzou would begrudingly let Orlam play with him on his Minecraft world on the Xbox 360(totally not projecting a childhood experience partially hush hush), only to make fun of him for always wanting to use the Alex skin because "they look like him" and Genzou teasing him because he's "playing as a girl". To which. Orlam waits for Genzou to be out of the room and deletes the Minecraft world and that's really where all the hatred between them started

•Gummybear(not just the song everyone knows, I'm talking all the little lesser known side songs they released) is to Genzou what Garfield is to Orlam

•Orlam(in the orly scenario) is SO the type to strut up to the counter, angrily pointing at the counter as he glares into the poor minimum wage worker's eyes like „excuse me, he asked for no pickles" while Iggy cowers right behind him, mortified, lowkey empathising and feeling sorry for said minimum wage worker

•As kids, Orlam would be the type to be a HUGE scaredy cat about decorations. And then Genzou would obviously tease him about it, only to stop when he realises he's indirectly insulting Iggy who's arguably MORE scared than Orlam

I guess a lot of my alignment charts and whatnot can count as headcanons, but there’s a lot of them so here are just a few:

As well as these tags I added under one random post:

As for character specific headcanons…

Iggy:

•A majority of Iggy’s music taste is secretly nerdcore. Like fan songs for fandoms. Sometimes even fandoms for games/media he hasn’t even watched/played

•A few very personal and projection-y headcanons I have for Iggy is that he both has skin picking disorder if not also hair pulling disorder, and that he may just be voidkin. The weirdcore type of voidkin btw. I fully realise that carrot will have no idea what the latter means though aughhh/not negative

Gidget:

•Projecting my previously long haired AFAB enby experience onto Gidget like: I bet you they felt so relieved after cutting off allat. Literal weight off the shoulders JFC. No more harrowing mornings of trying to detangle allat. No more pulling your own hair while laying down.

•part of the reason why they're such an active LGBTQ activist is because a part of them is trying to compensate for how vaguely/subtly homophobic their highschool self was

Genzou:

•Genzou at some point watches MLP equestria girls, like for example with an older Saydie if not of his own volition, and CRIES at sunset shimmer's whole arc of learning to be a better friend/person, ESPECIALLY the whole "my past is not today" song

Bucks:

•Bucks having that condition that makes people unable to feel pain/feel it very mildly and that being why as a kid she was like. Oddly not scared of most things like most kids would’ve been. Also why she gets into all sorts of physical altercations and doesn’t mind them one bit. She just doesn’t know that it’s causing her damage. Therefore she also had many random near-death accidents as a kid that she just. Isn’t bothered by? She will just be telling a story like it’s a “haha get this funny thing that happened to me once” meanwhile everyone is just staring jaws agape like…oh my god….are you okay…

And now the absolute monolith(idek if I’m using that word correctly…but isn’t that in itself very much in Orlam fashion….) that is the list of Orlam headcanons because he’s the blorbo of all time to me:

•Orlam secretly listens to Taylor Swift

•Orlam would LOVEEEEE Chonny Jash’s CCCC album if only he knew of it…if only…

•Orlam would also listen to Olivia Rodrigo in his teen years. If her music was around then

•Because of Orlam’s fascination with the French language, he would listen to Indila and Stromae also

•Orlam is the type of guy to use baby girl unironically to flirt

•Opera fan Orlam... him doing some mundane things around the house only to randomly just start trying to hit those long high notes(emphasis on trying)

•Orlam would be the first to turn to cannibalism in a dire apocalyptic scenario.

#our wonderland #30daysofow #ow: genzou #ow: iggy #ow: gidget #ow: bucks #ow: orlam #Asher’s Ramblings

go to the sister post after this one, the "decay 3A predictions retrospective", for more specific thoughts on the endings overall. i had to split the post into two because of the image-count of THIS one, so check it out!

this post will be less full-analysis of this game and what it all means and such (maybe), and more-so me chronologically showing screenshots of character graphics and moments i have thoughts about while going through my first play-through of the game.

i took notes and screenshots of moments that interested me while playing this through, and i'll be going chronologically by whatever ending i hit first naturally with my own choices. enjoy <3

join me as i traverse through the mental decay of andrew graves!

BEFORE WE START. i chose a decay save with BULLETS and i chose "ANDREW" at the decision, and i did NOT pick up the wedding ring.

the way leyley has brought up this kinda shit since they were KIDS. also notable took a screenshot of this particular screen because its the first time a blush sprite was used in the new chapter. ended up being very common, CUTE ADDITION DEVS!!! :3

however, most of the early memories are fucking MISERY to sit through, not because its poorly written or it sucks, but because I FUCKING HATE THAT HAGG I WANT HER FUCKING DEAD. I FUCKING HATE THAT FUCKING BITCH. (shes already dead and she didn't even die brutally OR in pain. what a shame.)

seriously though the way andy was abused as a kid MUST be from some generational bullshit, the way renee was barely 15 when she had her first kid (and seemingly, just so she could have her perfect little chess pieces of "see mom! fuck you, my husband are SO well off and MY kids are SMART!". they were really just born just to prove a fucking Point. no wonder she disposed of them so easily.) and how renee passes down this ideal that the oldest sibling basically is THE parent of the other siblings, might show renees childhood and some generational trauma, but i don't care enough about her to give a shit SORRY.

all i wrote in my notes at this point was, sarcastically: "guys i think andrew had a troubling childhood im not sure though". by the way the little intro before they wake up was fucking BAD ASS. i love the new music holy fuck.

this whole sequence of ashleys amputated body and his reactions to it are so fucking interesting. i do love seeing him fall apart mentally, teehee! (the way the puzzle was like, about digging up his "beloved" out the grave and pieces her back together, does he think he destroyed her? and will attempt to put her back together? i wonder if this was an actual vision or if it was just something something vaguely symbolic puzzlestuff.)

also, we now get andrew's POV for the bunny plushies descriptions.

oddly repulsive, interesting :3

SPEAKING of item descriptions, when he obtains ashley's head...

though... the fact ashley is a big eye demon in this realm is INCREDIBLY interesting, not sure if it was meant to be a "shes all encompassing on andrews part" or if she ACTUALLY looks like that in demonic form. VERY interesting..

things are GETTING BAD! she shackles him to a radiator in a random cultists apartment after andrew lets all the souls in the demon realm escape (on accident, maybe) and he is literally STUCK with ashley with all his items gone and he CANT leave, so he becomes a fucking alcoholic.

even though she hates it so much. shes so SCARED.

after he calls julia begs her to let him free and NEARLY runs off to start a new life, gets doused in a cold bucket of liquid reality and he sulks on a bench by himself. until his old friend shows up, and has a small moment of "maybe i want ashley back :("

he comes home, with groceries, a bag of excuses and ashley promptly FLIPS her fucking shit as andrew desperately tries to calm her and tell her that he just wants to be with her forever. honestly if ashley stopped being a shivering rat with no trust capabilities right here, maybe a Genuinely good ending couldve occured. SHOCKER! she doesn't though.

he tries to get ashley to feel better by smoking with h- wait what the fuck.

oh they're making out on the couch now, splendid.

now ashley is trying to be the perfect little Wife for andrew, while andrew descents further into his alcoholism, and while ashley proceeds to piss him off over minor things that cause very Bad things to happen.

the title music playing while he beats The SHIT out of ashley is kinda fun and shows how fucking manic he is. in a way i cant describe. boo.

and they uh. Work it Out.

ok but seriously this scene here is horrifically interesting because... i still don't even know what to make of it. its like. ashley pushes andrew to fucking her while drunk, he's always Wanted to and he ADMITTED to wanting to fuck her the night before also while drunk. though ashley mainly fucks him to keep him around (her inner narration rats it out), it seems to be her last ditch effort to prevent him from killing her/killing himself by resorting to sexual favors? since she views this whole thing so transactionally due to her deep rooted insecurities regarding anyone GENUINELY caring about her as a person at all. its EXTREMELY FUCKED UP.

though, despite everything, i find it hard to consider it outright rape in my opinion (i am not a SA victim so i am being cautious with the word here), though it definitely was not safe OR sane OR normal in ANY fucking capacity, dubious at ABSOLUTE best (since ashley is disinterested in sex, which is something i understand the feeling of. not in a "asexual way", which is what a LOT of people feel it is.) but i REALLY think that if either of them didn't want it, they would've started fucking killing eachother and probably just thrown themselves out the balcony at That moment.

then again, the dialogue BEFORE the fade to black is something to be picked apart. i feel i am not qualified enough to get into it without romanticizing it or potentially getting it WRONG. TL;DR, THEY FUCK BUT IT IS NOT SAFE OR SANE OR EVEN REALLY CONSENSUAL AND hes not even hard and shes not even wet. ALSO THEY'RE SIBLINGS. everybody knows shits FUCKED.

oh, also.

this set of lines was so GODDAMN DIABOLICAL i had to rewind to the previous save i had and go back because HUH.

but anyway.

true shit. ashley taking advantage of the "women cant rape" because she Does.

anyway, after this point the route ends with them literally fucking KILLING themselves, andrew romanticizes the shit out of it after pointing a gun to her head for her Making Him Do That and they jump from the 7th story floor, to go SPLAT in front of a whole bunch of kids.

what an ending guys!

. . .

dudes what the FUCK did i just endure.

My proper introduction (me + my fnaf au guide)

hellooo :3

I'm donnie, they/them, 16 y/o, I’m an artist + writer and this blog is mainly for my retelling of rebornica’s fnaf au, which I’ve named Lost and Found. I was also once known on tiktok for being that person with over 1,000 photos of Mike Schmidt on my phone,, so if that sounds familiar, hello again. I swear I’m less weird now (still have the photos tho)

I DONT SUPPORT REBORNICA, hence the remake. It’s a collaborative effort with my boyfriend, who comes up with a lot of the more intricate lore and details. None of this would even exist if it weren’t for him (also his name is literally vincent,, crazy how that happens)

Anyways, I’m finally at a point where I feel secure in my au and its story, and comfortable posting lore abt it! All of the guards are actually MY oc's now bc I said so. PLEASE feel free to send in asks or messages in regard to my au and characters!! I also have a side blog @askthelaffnafguards for questions you have for the characters directly, if you’d like to interact with or have a chat with them!! If not then again pls don't be afraid to ask me literally anything pleaaaaase I must talk abt my hyperfixation

I may post suggestive humor and art sometimes !! No blatant NSFW but I like to joke esp abt the guards

AU GUIDE UNDER READ MORE !! (this may be edited and updated overtime, this AU is still in the works !!)

BRIEF Lore Synopsis (intentionally vague bc i like keeping secrets, most of the nitty gritty stuff will be for later) :

The time period of this AU is like,,,,,,exceptionally long. Starting in the 1950's and onward.

It also combines canon fnaf lore, rebornica lore, and other things me and my bf just thought up that seemed fun.

Vincent was adopted into the Afton family as a newborn when William was 11 years old. The two brothers had a very rocky dynamic as they grew up, William being the favorable child but it was still clear there was something.. off with him. Most of Vincent’s dynamic with William growing up was Vincent being manipulated into doing what William wanted, and having a false hope that his older brother might actually care about him. Growing more and more bitter as he grew up, Vincent began to resent his brother.

William opens the Fazbear's establishment(s) around his late 20's, Vincent being the first "real" Fazbear's employee alongside his brother and Henry Emily. Of course, Henry ends up quitting later on to grieve the death of his daughter, who died outside the pizzeria. He has his suspicions on how and why, but he doesn't stay long enough to confirm them. He just wants to get away. Before that even happened, one of Williams sons and his daughter also died tragically in animatronic related accidents, all of these instances coming together to reveal the discovery of remnant (yeah we're doing the remnant shit, much differently than canon though so it's pretty simple to understand. made from dead souls, excessive use gives the user extended life and/or immortality, as well as a rapid healing factor, however it also gives the user psychopathic and sadistic tendencies that can become uncontrollable. crazy magic purple goo)

Scott is employed a long while after Vincent meets him on a whim at a bar. Scott had just gotten past a divorce with his ex-wife, Morgan, and while Vincent wasn’t thinking he would enjoy Scott’s slightly tipsy rambles about her, he found him oddly enticing. Having also just broken up with Mahogany, Vincent's longest relationship ever (probably a year or two), he enjoyed some company. One night in specific, those dumb gays got a biiiiiiit too close and unlock a "friends with benefits" relationship. Cue Scott being confused abt his sexuality and Vincent being in denial about.. everything except his sexuality, really. If he’s sure of anything it’s that he fucks guys AND gals I guess (and the non-binaries, he's got love for us too <3) To make matters even more awkward they WORK TOGETHER NOW, nothing like having to work with the guy you saw in bed that one time and having to be like "ougghhhh just act normal........"

Mike was the bite of 87 victim at 7 years old, entering a coma for 8 years. Vincent and Scott are around 22 at the time of the bite, witnessing the whole thing. At this point the missing kids case is running rampant, Fazbears landing in hot water. Once Mike is out of hospitalization and fully recovered, while grieving his mother who passed away while he was in comatose, he gets a job at Burger King (please get the reference) temporarily. While working there he briefly dates a girl named Kat, they realized quickly though that they were better as friends and still have a strong platonic love for each other.

Vincent gets really paranoid about Scotts safety once he finds out his brother is a murderer, yet simultaneously becomes Williams test subject for remnant and is forced to keep his mouth shut. Waaaait. PARANOID? About SCOTT???? Whaaaaat?????? Is this bitter fake WHORE actually concerned about someone?? Huh.. on the other hand, Scott is noticing something off about the animatronics. Like an odd stench.. almost like- oh yeah no the missing children are in the animatronics. Can we get a "How many times Scott has to see a corpse" counter in here please. Both feeling unsafe and yet also obligated to stay in place, Scott and Vincent rely on each other to stay stable and keep this place afloat, both fully aware of William's endeavors but having their own reasons to not say anything. They sometimes stay up late talking about how much they despise William

Mike eventually meets a guy the same age as him named Astro, and due to family complications Astro is left living on the streets. Mike may be a dick but he's not heartless, so he allows Astro a spot on his couch. He could use the company anyway. The awkward tension between them dies down gradually as they get to know eachother, and at some point Mike quits his Burger King job and applies to work at Fazbears. He can't really recall what or why, but something, a little voice in the back of his head, told him he should apply. Weird. Astro decides to tag along, the guilt of not having a real job to pay back Mike eating him up.

Astro and Mike meet Vincent and Scott, as well as William. The gang is forming

Jeremy, Fritz, and Chris are all employed to heighten security and keep the place tidy.

While losing a grip on his sanity due to the remnant, Vincent is falling for Scott harder and harder as days go on, so you can imagine the absolute nightmare going on in his brain. What were once just delusional fantasies of Scott in the bedroom were now becoming butterflies in his stomach at the mere sight of him. While Vincent fell first, Scott definitely fell harder. Scott was dismissive of his feelings for a long time, forcing himself into denial over and over. They both tried to pursue other people but Vincent couldn't even stomach it more than once or twice, despite not being together yet he felt like he was cheating on Scott. Scott on the other hand had less guilt trying to continue pursuing women, but he had a slight unease.. does he actually.. like Vincent?

"So they should confess their feelings now right?" No DUMMY ur gonna have to wait (i'll move on from my purplephone delusions now sorry)

Adding onto the relationship stuff, Astro and Mike are beginning to develop feelings for each other as well. Mike is conflicted, because his entire life he thought he was straight, but he’s starting to realize maybe he was looking at men a bit more intently than he thought. Astro on the other hand, who was already confident in his sexuality, wanted nothing more than to kiss that stupid bald man. Around when they're both 22 Mike drunkenly confesses by accident and while it does take a while, they're able to talk normally and start officially going out. Ofc this is explored more in-depth in the real story and not the tumblr summary of it

And I’m cutting it off there. There's a lot of story to this au and i am not powerful enough to type it all out, nor do i really want to yet!! If you have any specific lore questions, pls feel free to ask, im not as secretive when asked directly,,

And if it wasn't obvious enough, William and Vincent are different people, as well as Mike Schmidt and Michael Afton. That seems REALLY obvious if you read this far but still, I don't want any confusion.

Characters in-depth :

Astro Leroy Michel (Eventually just "Astro Schmidt") / "Doll" :

Astro is a gay, transgender man, and uses he/they pronouns

5'6

25 years old

He's married to Mike, having met him when they were both around 16 years old. They didn't start dating until they were in their early 20's, and getting married around their late 20's.

Generally polite and can bond with most people.

Takes a lot to make him panic, he's learned to have a tough exterior and to be more level-headed in stressful situations (which combats Mike's more extreme emotions)

He's punk !! Mike didn't know much abt punk beliefs until he met Astro, safe to say he thinks his husband is sick asf and they rant abt controversial/political topics together a lot.

Wears the pants in the relationship

Loves Mike sososososo much, he doesn't think anyone is as handsome or cute as his adorable husband :D

Grew up being really into the paranormal and has owned the same Ouija board ever since he was a kid. Which is my subtle way of saying he gradually becomes one of the most connected to the spirits of the dead children, being able to communicate with them the easiest, especially since they have no anger or suspicion towards him.

Only ever heard of Fazbear's as a kid, never actually went there due to their sheltered childhood.

HATES working at Fazbear's, but is primarily staying for Mike, who refuses to quit.

Very fascinated by bugs, wanting a pet centipede or tarantula, but Mike would never allow it.

Very close friends with Vincent and Chris, knowing things about the two that seemingly nobody else does. He cares about them a lot, and they're all smoking buddies and spend late nights together when things get tough.

Mike Schmidt :

Bisexual, cis man, uses he/him pronouns

6'0

25 years old

Married to Astro Schmidt, as previously mentioned. He's hopelessly in love with that man.

Ever since the Foxy incident when he was 7, in which he suffered extreme frontal lobe damage and was hospitalized, left in comatose for a large chunk of his life, he's been left permanently altered. The memory of the bite has been blocked out of his brain, his admiration for the pirate fox remaining, but a blanket of uncertainty covers it ever so slightly.

The only people who know about the incident are William, Scott, and Vincent. None of them say anything.

Owns a crutch to help with his mobility at times, but refuses to use it. He thinks his friends will see him as weak, even if it would help him in the long run. Astro encourages him to use it whenever possible, with mixed results.

The brain trauma has left him with jittering, shaking hands. He gets easily frustrated with himself due to this and resorts to violence to get those emotions out, hence the bandages.

Most assume he just has heterochromia, which he won't deny, simply because he doesn't like getting into his past, but his left eye is actually a prosthetic.

Covers up his insecurities by acting all tough and macho, very short temper, "doesn't take shit from no one" type of guy. Until he's with Astro. Then he's a big 'ol softie.

Under his shell of an unapproachable, brutal guy, he's very compassionate and, while struggling with empathy, can still be there to support the ones he cares about.

His main coping mechanism for all his issues, though, is excessive drinking. He feels like he doesn’t belong in his own body, not remembering what completely tore his life apart and feeling so lost and unsure of what his purpose even is. So down goes the alcohol

Ever since he started his job at Fazbear's, he kept a baseball bat on him, strapped to his back underneath his security jacket.

Hated Vincent at first, but he grew to appreciate him once he slowly realized the two weren't so different after all. I mean, he still finds him annoying, but they kind of have a weird trauma-bonded thing going on. Their personalities clash but they still understand each other to a certain degree.

Was annoyed by and dismissive of Jeremy when they first met, not understanding why someone so young was risking his life at a place like this. Overtime, he grew really fond of the kid, seeing him as a younger brother, or even like a son.

Sees Scott as a father figure, but he would never admit that. He didn’t have a dad at all growing up, he never even met the guy, so when he met Scott it was kinda surreal. Scott cares for and yet also mentors him like a father would, like his father would. It really unnerves him, making him lash out a lot, but when he gets drunk or broken down he can’t help but tell Scott how much it means to him.

Oh yeah, and Faith — he doesn’t know about her yet. He barely even remembers the times they crossed paths when they were kids. He does eventually find out that she’s possessing him, and he doesn’t react very well. They adapt to each other soon enough though, once he realizes she’s only been protecting him. Faith usually forces herself into control if Mike is in extreme danger, resulting in a huge migraine and memory loss of the entire instance afterwards once Mike is back in control.

Hates Fazbear's. So much. The pay is shit, his boss is annoying, the whole nine yards. Yet he's staying, because despite it all he really loves his friends and the life he's built working here. Maybe everything will be okay.

Jeremy Fitzgerald :

Aroace, transman, he/him pronouns

5'4

19 years old

A very quiet young man, one of the most recent recruits to the Fazbear team and primarily just an intern. Almost an unpaid one, but Scott cut him some slack. He's really just trying to get money to pay for college and half of the rent at his dads house.

Generally silent and kept to himself, having a high amount of social anxiety. He carries a gameboy and some flashy cat headphones, gaming in his free time when he just wants to be by himself

Terrified of his job, always had a bad feeling about it, but it was the only place that would hire him. He grows accustomed to some of the animatronics though, like the marionette. He always enjoyed weird, circus-y things like that

INCREDIBLY kind, almost to his own dismay. Once he breaks through his awkward and shy shell, he's the most loyal, silly, and compassionate friend you could ever have

He loves snacks, anime, and video games, as well as what would be deemed today as more “cottagecore” fashion. Although, on some days, he rocks an oversized graphic tee and some sweatpants, because mans is tired

Idolizes Mike a lot, seeing him as an older brother or father figure. Mike also makes him feel more comfortable in his masculinity, helping his dysphoria and breaking him out of his shell, especially when Mike invites him to workout sessions. He feels the same about Astro, especially since Astro is an older trans guy who helps Jeremy through his journey

Where Jeremy’s relationship with Mike takes longer to develop and flesh out, he immediately saw Scott as a fatherly figure. He really appreciates Scott’s kindness and gentle demeanor despite looking like this big, stoic manager. He owes Scott his life, and he wants to be just as kind as he is, especially if he ever wants children when he’s older. He doesn’t wanna repeat the same mistakes as his biological dad. Never.

Jeremy and his biological father have a horrible relationship, and his mother passed away in a car accident when he was young. He barely remembers what she looks like, and hates looking his dad in the eyes. Because of this, in art, his mom will be portrayed with a completely blank face, and his dad's face will be crossed out with a X

Over time, Jeremy and Fritz grow very close, developing into a queerplatonic relationship (they don't know that this is a term, to them they're just platonic soulmates that hold hands n kiss on the cheek sometimes !!) They also binge cartoons and anime together, and bond over hobbies and common interests

Jeremy is close with Chris as well, hanging out with him and Fritz primarily, mainly when Mike and Astro are busy

Vincent Afton/Bishop :

Pansexual, cis man, he/him pronouns

5’7

39 years old

Starts using Scott's last name (Bishop) a bit into their romantic relationship, not because they're married, but because Vincent would rather it seem like they are married than keep using the last name Afton (and let's be honest, Vincent wants to put a ring on that finger so bad)

The begrudging younger brother of William Afton, as mentioned he was adopted as an infant. His parents didn’t really like him though, and neither did William. He didn’t notice until he was older that the majority of the time William was just using him, which never ended up changing.

Vincent was always the first test subject for everything William did, including remnant. When William discovered remnant, he subjected Vincent to that torture completely against his will. This resulted in an addiction with extremely severe and dangerous side effects, turning a seemingly normal guy into uummm,,purple guy WOAHHHH they said the thing (Vincent may have also been the first springlock victim but that’s to be determined)

In Vincent’s early 20’s (so around 1985,,just for reference), William put a contraption in Vincent’s jaw while he was unconscious that forces his mouth to stay in a wide grin, so anytime Vincent tries to do simple tasks like eat, talk, close his mouth, or frown, he’s in excruciating pain. As a result he’s always smiling. Fuck Lost and Found William he’s a bitch

On a more lighthearted topic, Vincent’s childhood wasn’t all bad. He would watch his mom play the piano and studied her techniques for years, using it as an escape and a way to relieve stress growing up. Unfortunately it went to the back of his mind when he moved out to live with William (stupid decision). Also, he totally had spunk and style in the 80’s. We’re keeping his love for funky suits, he loves dolling himself up

He still has his toast addiction, not as severely but warm slices of toast with butter are unironically his comfort food

Vincent spent a lot of his 20’s parading himself around and using his flirty and eccentric facade to get himself laid almost everyday. He didn’t form meaningful connections with anyone, nor did he have any interest in doing so. He was going through a rough patch and wanted a quick and easy way out of it every night, that’s all.

Although, that lifestyle came to a surprising halt when he met a man at his usual bar once. He had never seen him there before, and considering he was thinking of just rotting in bed that night instead, it was an utter coincidence that they even saw each-other, let alone conversed and slowly developed a friendship. Of course this man was Scott Bishop, a kindhearted guy who lost his job as a nurse and simultaneously lost his wife in a divorce. Scott and Vincent’s relationship hit a bit of a road bump one night where they were both a little tipsy and decided to spend the night together (aka they had sex), resulting in Vincent being terrified that he might actually feel things for this man and Scott being confused because he might actually be gay (more on Scott in his section). Vincent had to wrestle with the idea that he felt a real emotional connection to this guy, actually being concerned for his well-being and wanting to be with him every second of every day. Which wasn’t like him, at all. He was falling in love and it was terrifying.

Vincent DOES become a serial killer but he didn’t kill the children, his kills came from a psychotic break after being filled with remnant for years and a thirst for blood. He still feels remorse and guilt for his actions and despises William for killing innocent children.

Was a fun uncle to Williams kids but nothing much more than that, he was awkward around kids and preferred Evan (crying child’s name in laffnaf) since he was quiet and didn’t cause many problems. His relationship with Michael got rough after the bite of 83, Evan’s death hitting him like a truck and he wasn’t sure how easy it would be to forgive Michael, despite still wanting to be there for his nephew. They never really got to patch things up before Vincent got preoccupied with his own affairs. To this day he isn’t sure if Michael is even alive.

Still has his flirty and eccentric personality but he slowly gains more genuine confidence and learns how to express his emotions properly and be there for people he cares about. He’s still pretty blunt and hits on people for funsies but he makes it clear when he’s just joking around. People still find him creepy and off putting nevertheless.

Obviously he’s in love with Scott so I’ll briefly mention his relationships with everyone else. He’s best friends with Astro, the two having similar interests and humor and they love gossiping in their free time. He loves to pick on Mike but deep down he respects him and the work he does, plus the trauma he went through. He also loves to mess with Jeremy, taking advantage of his jumpiness and using that to scare him shitless all the time. As for everyone else he’s fine with them, I’m so sorry but this is taking weeks and I’m so tired UGHHRG

Scott Bishop (Phone Guy) :

Unlabeled, cis man, he/him pronouns (I think he's asexual in some variant.. not fully bc yk but maybe demisexual......... maybe I'm just self-projecting)

6'4

40 years old

Practically forced into the manager position by William, who was once manager but started losing interest in that portion of his job, so all the stress was put on Scott. That includes everyone else’s jobs too, as he’s kinda expected to fill in for whoever isn’t present. For example if Fritz isn’t at work, Scott has to take care of the animatronics. If Mike stays home, Scott (or Vincent if Scott asks him to bc he’s pathetic) has to fill in for him. So you can imagine how stressed Scott is when he gets home every night, if he even does. His ACTUAL job is the dayshift, but with everyone else to manage, he goes days without sleeping sometimes.

If you thought Jeremy was unbearably kind, try THIS loser. His kindness hurts him. Even if you're a bitch to him, he'll be there for you if you're having a bad day. He cares about his employees lives more than his own, and has the scars to prove that he would do anything to protect them. Ontop of that, he's a huge goofball, more than people assume or give him credit for. He always knows the punchlines to Mikes jokes, kinda aggravating Mike sometimes but deep down they appreciate each others humor.

Really loves books and reading, but also infatuated by really dark concepts and topics. He doesn’t really fear death as much as he accepts that it’s inevitable. That didn’t really change when he began working at Fazbears. He would sacrifice himself for his employees and that’s that, if he died for a good cause then he died happy.

Probably the most infuriated by the missing children case. He began working at Fazbear's in the 80's, around 1987 to be exact. His first run-in with a child nearly dying being the Bite of '87. He already felt horrifically guilty for that, so you can imagine the fear and stress as more and more children that he saw everyday just slowly went missing. Children he comforted when they were sad, children whose parents he had fond relationships with. They were all ticked off, one by one. Scott found out all the details about William being the killer through Vincent, but he was also convinced by him not to say anything, due to William’s large influence and capability of silencing anyone who speaks out against him. After all, Fazbears is a largely successful corporation in this universe. It’s still dirt cheap and looks like shit, but the Afton name is very well known. It can’t be tarnished, no matter how badly Scott wants to tear it all to the ground.

Wears his giant phone mask to look more like a mascot for Freddy Fazbear’s (other than Freddy himself....), and to cover up his face during the dayshift, which he deems too “unsettling” for the kids to see (wtf man you have ONE scar get a grip ur beautiful). The kids grew attached to him, his mask plastered with sharpie drawings and little stickers by the end of the day. He would NEVER remove them, never. He wasn’t sure how good he would be with handling kids, but he always ends up smiling by the end of the day, even if he’s stressed out. Once again, it got really under his skin that his boss murdered those kids.

Also — the phone reacts to his emotions. I don’t know the logistics, it just does. It’s just a helmet but when Scott puts it on he can emote and make facial expressions that are expressed by the phone, and yet it also still works as a phone. I don’t know, okay? Moving on.

Confused by and yet also entranced by Vincent. He loves to watch him, analyzing him in his brain, figuring out what makes him tick. He loves the attention too, even if he playfully shoves Vincent away a lot he loves how touchy and clingy he is. The way he hugs him from behind, grabs his hand, holds his face, oh my lord. It makes him completely melt, the compliments too, it all goes right to his brain and makes him all warm and giggly.

But he’s TOTALLY straight, right?

Yeah no. Everyone point and laugh. He doesn’t even know what was going through his head when he accepted Vincent’s offer that night, the logic of how he came out of that still thinking he’s straight is utterly ridiculous. You kissed a man Scott oh my lord

As for the other guards, as previously stated, Scott cares about them a lot. He has a big soft spot for Jeremy and surprisingly Mike, treating them as if they were his sons. He’s aware of Jeremy’s awful relationship with his dad, being the one to actually physically save him from that household, and trusting Mike to take Jeremy in and live with him and Astro. He would’ve done it himself if he could’ve, but he just has too much going on already. He and Mike also had a mutual understanding that Jeremy’s father must be “dealt with”, sending Mike off to do so. We don’t fw Jeremy’s dad here.

He’s also aware of Mike’s self-destructive behaviors and drinking problem, indulging in drinking with Mike sometimes to make him feel less alone, but the majority of the time he’s the one staying sober to make sure Mike is okay, alongside Astro. He’s like this with all the guards, recognizing their behaviors and habits and being there if he feels like they need him, which 9 times out of 10 they do.

He also thinks - no, knows that he owes Mike. He owes Mike a lot. Despite none of it being his fault, despite doing his best to save Mike that day, he just needs to be there for him. It's the least he could do for keeping it all a secret.

Fritz

Aroace, non-binary, he/they king

5'1

20 years old

Still mostly prefers masculine terms despite being non-binary, honestly he doesn't even know the term non-binary exists. He just knows he doesn't fully feel like a guy

Biiiiiiiig tech guy, very very good with computers and all kinds of technology. He genuinely loves working on the animatronics and sneaking in little upgrades without William knowing

Very friendly, but not the most social unless it's about something that directly interests him. This is why he gets along with Jeremy so well, as they have very similar interests, and Jeremy always asks questions about programming and hacking that Fritz loves to tell him all about

Was briefly fired for tampering with the animatronics after hours, but was quickly re-hired by Scott when he realized they couldn't find a mechanic with nearly as much ambition, drive, and skill as Fritz

Weird comedic relief thing -- Fritz made Balloon Boy in this AU. BB was NEVER meant to be part of William's animatronic roster, and while he isn't Fritz's best work, Fritz thinks he's just so goofy looking that he HAS to be included. BB is packed with motion-activated voice lines Fritz installed in his voicebox, causing nothing but annoyance for the rest of the guards. Everyone but Fritz hates that stupid thing

Apart from his pookie Jeremy he also hangs out with Chris and sometimes Mike, but none of the other guards really talk to him much. Not out of hostility or anything, just because they know Fritz prefers his privacy and focusing on his work.

Chris

Trans man, he/him pronouns, and uuhnmmmnm (im so sorry i have not figured out his sexuality yet, at the moment im saying bisexual i think)

5'5

21 years old

The chillest guy there, spends 90% of his time blasting music from his walkman into his ears and humming n bobbing his head to the beat of his music as he sweeps the floors

Friends with EVERYONE, but he certainly has his favorites. He loves listening to Mike ramble and theorize, enjoys Scott's wisdom on dark n spooky topics, likes chilling with Fritz and Jeremy due to being similar in age and interests, but as previously mentioned he likes smoking (weed) with Astro and Vincent on weekends and therefore those two have become his best friends over time. At work though, he would probably pick Mike

Lives in a dusty old apartment with his black hairless cat, Lucky. He loves his dusty old apartment

Loves piercings, tattoos, graffiti art, all kinds of stuff like that

Doesn't really pay much mind to the whole "haunted pizzeria" thing, he thinks it's real interesting and all but he has bigger worries. Like sweeping the shit outta those floors so he can afford to feed his cat this week

As much as I would love to elaborate on more of the characters (Faith, William, the rest of the missing children, etc.) this has already taken probably months and I would like to just post this stupid thing already. I think you could slowly see my writing descend into madness and for that I apologize

AGAIN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS !!!!! more will be added to this in the future, ty for reading xoxoxoxoxoxo <33333
